Our forum posters are dedicated to the Daytime Emmy Awards. To predict the winners, they do just like the judges and watch all the episode submissions. Then they rank them.
In the Best Supporting Actress race, they are as split as our Experts over who will prevail. However, Rebecca Herbst ("General Hospital") has a slight edge over the competition based on her episode submission.
Who Will Win Best Supporting Actress?
Forecast top races. Compete against Experts!
Below is a sampling of their insightful commentary. Read their thorough analyses here.
Melissa Claire Egan gives another great performance. She also has "All My Children"'s cancelation playing a big part in the way the judges vote. Genie Francis ("Young and the Restless") gave a good performance, but, not a truly great performance. Nancy Lee Grahn gave a great performance, but, the viewer's attention tends to go elsewhere. Elizabeth Hendrickson gave a good, but, at the same time, disappointing performance. Rebecca Herbst is truly the one to beat.
After watching these reels twice, this is an absolute horse race bewteen 4 actresses, with Nancy Lee Grahn the one not in contention. I could easily see Genie, Elizabeth, Melissa, and Rebecca easily taking this. It is truly that close. Nancy Lee Grahn just didn't impress me at all. These rankings are just my gut reaction, and there are some huge differences between me and the first person who reviewed this category.
Most likely to win
1) Elizabeth Hendrickson ("Young and the Restless")
2) Rebecca Herbst ("General Hospital")
3) Genie Francis ("Young and the Restless")
4) Melissa Claire Egan ("All My Children")
5) Nancy Lee Grahn ("General Hospital")
I feel it will be between Elizabeth Hendrickson and Rebecca Herbst, and I would not be suprised at all to see Genie Francis or Melissa Claire Egan win. All four of these ladies turned in brilliant perfomances.

Draft oline 1st round. Sony michelle 2nd round

**** is going down guys
#GoHawkeyes #FightForIowa #ANF
Going downnnnnnn
#GoHawkeyes #FightForIowa #ANF
I saw the the Broncos only want to tender Shaq with a second round tender in hopes that another team takes him off our hands. The guy who tweeted it said that Denver wants a more consistent player opposite Von.
If we get Cousins, I'd have to imagine that Chubb is number 1 on the Broncos draft board.
"Take him off our hands" is a bit harsh with Shaq. Kid is a solid football player. Will get paid but we shouldn't be looking forward to get rid of him.
If we get a 2nd rounder though....that is about the only way you say bye to Shaq.
If Barkely falls to 5. Then it's Barkely. IF not....then pick Chubb. BPA.
I know Nelson is about as automatic as it will ever be in terms of instant quality at LG...but man...I don't want to use a top 5 pick on a guard.
Von NEEDS another stalwart to back him up front.
Enter Chubb. He's perfect because he's a DL. We don't have to worry about having our edge rushers being on the field at the same time because Chubb is already going to be on the field since he plays with his hand in the ground.
And anyway...where's the big time talent on the D-line? Our hope is on gotsis and that's it.
Chubb and Von will always give us a shot in the pass rushing department..

Cy has got some kind of man crush on Taven Bryan. Can see why....that interior pressure though..
Any actual interest in us nabbing him Cy?
Wait...acquire Cousins then move down? Or acquire Cousins while moving down in the draft...as in..there is some funkiness where we trade for him but it'll cost us to move down?
Would definitely make sense to load up on these picks with a trade down...but there will be a backlash depending on who would be available at 5..

.@baker_mayfield6 on @OrangeBlue760 the #Broncos are very close to being at this game right now. All they need is one game changer, somebody to lead those guys and give them that spark, and I think I could be that guy for any team. Going to Denver would be an ideal spot for me.

Edith Kelley, who worked as a bookkeeper for the lunch program, allegedly stole the money over a seven-year period, from 1999 to 2006, according to the indictment in Merrimack County Superior Court. The missing money was discovered by an outside consultant hired to examine the books for a suspected shortfall.

After a long and draining day, many people find comfort in relaxing with a cup of herbal tea. Though great during any season, herbal teas have a way of making one feel even cozier when the chilling grip of winter tightens. If you enjoy a hot elixir to unwind each night, you might be getting sick and tired of the same blends of chamomile that you sip on the regular. To try something new, see what tulsi tea has to offer.
Made from the tulsi plant, this adaptogenic tea boasts a handful of relaxing benefits that might be appealing to your sensibilities. Explore a new way of kicking back this season with some of these healthy perks.
1.) Get Rest
To perform as a functional human being during the daytime, a good night's sleep is essential. Most people struggle with this, tossing and turning in bed and feeling sluggish the next day. Often, high levels of stress are to blame for interrupting your rest. A cup of tulsi tea before bed might provide you with the herbal mixture you need to relax and fall asleep.
According to a 2014 research paper on tulsi, there is enough evidence to suggest that the tulsi plant is responsible for lowering psychological stress levels in several animal species, including humans. The studies conducted with humans pointed out that the presence of tulsi in a person's system aided in dealing with several psychological pressures including stress, anxiety, and depression. If you have trouble feeling calm before you go to bed, a cup of this tea could help to get you into the right mindset.
2.) Diabetes Treatment
The adaptogenic effects of tulsi tea are only some of the benefits this herb is said to bring. During a 1996 study on the impact of tulsi in laboratory rats, researchers discovered the plant had an impact on glucose levels in the blood. When the tests were repeated with human participants, the studies yielded similar results. The research here has led to tulsi being used as a way of preventing, and even treating, various diabetic conditions. Though the results are impressive, it is best to speak with your doctor before altering your levels of prescribed insulin.
3.) Coughing and Sneezing
Most people tend to get sick during the winter. Fluctuating temperatures lead people to hide away indoors, allowing bacteria and viruses to be easily spread between hosts. When you come down with a cold, common symptoms include coughing, sneezing, and other respiratory problems. Treating a cold can be tough, and professionals at the Mayo Clinic suggest attacking the symptoms themselves.
If you're looking to fight against the irritation of a scratchy throat or constant cough, a warm mug of tulsi tea should be considered. Active ingredients in tulsi leaves, like eugenol, contain anti-asthmatic properties that make it easier for the lungs to take in oxygen while fighting an infection. Since the common cold cannot be cured the way other diseases can, a bit of tea might help to get you back on your feet after some rest.
4.) Rich in Antioxidants
In recent years, there has been a lot of talk in the media about the importance of antioxidants. Though dietary crazes come and go, keeping foods rich in antioxidants in your daily rotation can produce several key benefits. For one, antioxidants are shown to have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system. According to recent CDC statistics, over 610,000 people die in America each year from heart disease. With numbers that high, taking precautionary measures with your heart is a must.
Tulsi leaves contain many antioxidants and several studies have pointed out that this can be useful when it comes to improving the health of your heart. In addition to helping your cardiovascular system, the antioxidant levels in tulsi tea have been shown to improve several skin conditions. Those suffering from varying levels of acne have noticed a change in their complexions after using tulsi tea for a short time.
5.) Complete Your Resolutions
With the end of the year right around the corner, many people are thinking about their resolutions. Sticking with your goals for the new year can be tough, especially if you are attempting to take on a challenge like quitting smoking. The highly-addictive nature of nicotine can make cutting cigarettes out of your routine a painful experience. To make life easier, some people suggest drinking tulsi tea. Replacing the act of smoking with a cup of relaxing herbal tea can help to calm your mind and decrease your urges.
Sitting down with a nice mug of your favorite herbal tea is a lovely way to unwind after a stressful day. To get a bit more from your time, try out some tulsi tea and see what calming benefits you experience.

All applications start life in a development environment before moving to a staging or test environment where functions from different developers are brought together.
Then they move on to a user acceptance environment for the acceptance of the new business functions, before finally being put into use in production – the most revered environment of all - the area where real business is done. Some organisations with rapid development programs will have multiple environments running in parallel. There are at least seven production versions of Facebook. It is usual to expect that the environment that receives the most planning and attention, as it is operating the real life business, is production. But not always.
Business change is relentless and continues to drive value through new and exciting business models. Often new developments will be part of a structured plan to deliver these new products and services to the market and will include aspects that are not directly related to software, such as marketing, advertising or training for the sales and delivery teams. Regardless of whether there is a rapid development lifecycle, or a much slower and surer approach, the overall development cycle can often be more important than maintaining production service.
One example I experienced was a situation where our customer was migrating their datacentre to a new environment. Their research website was slow and subject to significant complaints from their customers. A new optimised site was in development that would improve the customer experience and drive an increase in revenue. Moving the new development system to the target datacentre had a significantly higher priority as the customer had already committed the new functionality to the market. They had to get the new application into the new datacentre order to meet the deadline set by the business. There was no debate - the production system was less important. I'm not arguing this is always the case – far from it – but to assume that production is the priority by default can be misleading. Sometimes the priority is to clear the path for the migration.
In a datacentre migration or transformation programme, really understanding the application and business priorities is just as important as the technical aspects. Smart organisations will be allocating up to around 40% of their total budget to the application and business side of a migration project, depending on scope. Read my article on Triumvirates to learn more about how this should operate.
Xceed Group has the expertise to explain to customers why allocating a significant part of the migration budget to the business side of the migration is so important and can provide a resource model that they should consider emulating in a migration. No harm in asking, but potential harm in not.

We do a lot of reading and writing here at HuffPost Entertainment, and though we're tuned-in to your many tweets and comments, there are times we find ourselves wondering what you're really looking forward to this week.
That's why Entertainment Editor Kia Makarechi sent out a simple tweet and asked you, our readers, what entertainment "thing" you're most excited about. Is it a movie? An art show? A TV finale or premiere?
Many of you answered, and we've culled your responses in the gallery below. We did some pruning, as some of you tweeted at us to share the news of birthdays, work schedule changes or other events that the rest of us can't really join.
For the record, Kia's looking forward to catching Questlove, Danyel Smith and Toure at their discussion of all things Prince at the midtown Manhattan Hilton's penthouse on Tuesday at 7 pm.

VITRONIC strives to be a Company that is:
Customer oriented:
Thinking and acting are aligned to contribute to our customer's success, using the most modern image processing systems and associated services. We listen to our customers, understand their requirements and ensure that these are converted into optimal system solutions and products. Our relationships with customers and suppliers are considered a partnership.
Through innovative ideas we give our customers technological and operational advantages. We strengthen our compe titive advantages and open new markets using new products, processes, production innovation and organizational structures. Creativity paired with a strong business focus leads to leadership in technology.
Sustainably pursues Goals:
Ongoing, healthy and controlled growth is secured by focussed actions combined with cost consciousness and profit orientation. Work continuity and the pursuit of strategic goals secure the continued existence and independence of our company. For our customers we are therefore a reliable, ongoing partner.
Employee oriented:
Qualification, motivation and the continuous support for these are the basis for exceptional performance. Fair and trusting relationships are the basis for continual growth of knowledge and competence - which also requires long term employee retention. Active participation in decision making promotes a common bond. It strengthens the identification with the company and helps keep the common goal in view, transcending hierarchical and operational boundaries. Taking our social responsibility seriously means that our company's strengths are also used to provide long term job security.
Quality driven:
The quality of our products and services is the most important precondition for our customer's satisfaction. Each employee takes responsibility for the quality of his work and is actively involved in ongoing process improvement. Conformity with relevant standards for IT security as well as quality management and environmental management are a matter of course for us.
Empowers Employees:
The scope of freedom provided in the working environment is used by each employee to make decisions on their own authority and take responsibility for these decisions. A willingness to make decisions is desirable and supported. Excessive steps to cover one's actions are dispensed with. If someone is in a position to solve a problem directly, then they are to act independently, where an event took place. This is supported by the readiness of each individual to take on new and different work or tasks to those originally planned. Actions outside the regulated scope are taken with particular diligence.
Promotes Teamwork:
Integration, cooperation and networking create a common team spirit and a good work climate. Differences of opinion and conflicts of interest are openly discussed between those directly involved in the conflict. These disputes are always conducted so they focus on a solution, even if the positions are very diverse in the interim. The negotiated decisions are always supported by all people involv ed. Efficient group and team structures in constant changes, particularly in the context of projects, require open and honest communication and are a basis of our common success.
Respects confidentiality:
With our innovative products we enable our customers to improve their competitive position. During this process our customers often provide confidential information to us. Unless we are certain
that it is in the public domain, we will treat all information internally and externally as absolutely confidential.
Non-discriminating and provides equal Opportunities:
We are a performance-driven company, counting on achievements and social skills of our employees. Origin, religious association, gender etc. will not lead to any disadvantage. We always use the designations such as "employee", "customer", "supplier" etc. in a gender-neutral way.

The Associated Press poll Sunday brought a sense of accomplishment for the Big 12 along with a big bull's eye.
Oklahoma claimed the No. 1 ranking in the AP for a record 96th time - one more than Notre Dame - and the first time since 2003.
The Sooners have plenty of familiar company with Missouri (No. 4), Texas (5), Texas Tech (7), Kansas (16) and Oklahoma State (21). The last time the Big 12 had populated the poll so greatly was September 2002, when six teams were ranked. You have to go back to November 2001 to find three teams in the top five.
To each of those teams, congratulations and condolences, because the target on your back just got bigger for every remaining opponent.
Just ask previous No. 1 Southern California, hailed as the best team of the Pete Carroll era and now clinging to ninth. Or the Southeastern Conference, which had five schools in the Top 10 two weeks ago. That number dwindled to two Sunday, the result of cannibalization within the conference.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops was asked how he will prepare his players for what they'll face, beginning this week against Baylor in Waco.
"Well, the message is that we've got to be as good as we can be," Stoops said. "When we show up, we have to have the hair standing up on the neck to meet the challenge and be our best. That's physically and emotionally, to be in a strong frame of mind."
Quarterback Sam Bradford said the Sooners discussed the importance of being wary as the upset theme began to unfold this past week.
"That's why you have to come out and play on edge every week," Bradford told reporters after OU's 35-10 win over TCU.
Both Oklahoma and Texas understand how quickly things can change.
The Sooners and Longhorns could be on the verge of another epic Red River Rivalry matchup, a game that would turn a nation's eyes to the State Fair. Or not.
A year ago in September, Oklahoma and Texas were both unbeaten and ranked in the Top 10 two weeks away from their annual showdown.
Then Kansas State stunned Texas in Austin and Colorado and high altitude brought Oklahoma down to earth.
So far, 2008 looks to be a repeat of 2007, when the No. 2 team lost five times to unranked opponents.
"Again, it's parity and the ability to shorten the game and the ability to make a few big plays," Oklahoma defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. "It's not very often where you can go out and out-man them."
That formula applies even to the most talented teams in college football, like Southern California. The Trojans saw their decorated defense burned by Oregon State's rushing game.
"If you get one or two guys not playing well, it doesn't matter what the other nine guys do," Venables said.
Eventually, the Big 12 will face the same fate as the SEC.
In two weeks, either Oklahoma or Texas is assured of loss. The same hold true for Missouri and Oklahoma State, which also play Oct. 11.
So enjoy the moment.

Rnk., Team, Prv.
1. Oklahoma, 1 (4-0, 0-0)
2. Missouri, 2 (4-0, 0-0)
3. Texas, 3 (4-0, 0-0)
4. Texas Tech, 4 (4-0, 0-0)
5. Oklahoma State, 6 (4-0, 0-0): The Cowboys cracked the Top 25 in The Associated Press (No. 21) and USA Today (No. 22) polls for the first time since 2004, the last time they were 4-0. Oklahoma State ranks among the top five nationally in total offense and scoring offense. Texas A&M provides a chance Saturday to exorcise a few demons. The Cowboys are 0-3 against the Aggies under Mike Gundy and have lost each of the last two meetings by one point.
6. Kansas, 7 (3-1, 0-0)
7. Colorado, 5 (3-1, 0-0)
8. Nebraska, 8 (3-1, 0-0)
9. Kansas State, 9 (3-1, 0-0): Kansas State will be an interesting study in its conference opener against Texas Tech. After allowing 38 points in a loss to Louisville, coach Ron Prince reportedly had his players run 38 50-yard sprints when the Wildcats returned home - at 3 a.m. The approach didn't seem to improve the defense in a 45-37 win over Louisiana-Lafayette.
10. Baylor, 10 (2-2, 0-0)

Healthier Fats
Simply put, your body needs fat.
It is crucial to supplying energy, helps process vitamins and delivers essential fatty acids that your body needs but cannot make itself.
While much debated in the healthcare and dietary sectors, the fact that fat is a helpful part of your diet is starting to gain major traction.
Where the dietary recommendations get muddled is in just how much fat you need, as well as what kinds are suggested as regular additions to your intake. When it comes to breast cancer, researchers have not been able to pinpoint a certain behavior that causes the disease. However, many have determined that a diet containing healthy fats can have great benefits in reducing your risk.
Why Fat is Important
In the past, many studies concluded that it's best to avoid fats when it comes to your diet. Did you know that there are certain fats that can promote your well-being?
Your body counts on vitamins A, D, E and K to operate properly. The only way these vitamins are able to be absorbed is with the help of fats. Eating foods that boast "unsaturated fats" will allow your body to process the vitamins without the harmful risks of a diet high in "saturated fats."
Incorporating Healthy Fats
While diet alone will likely not cause or cure cancer, it is a factor that needs to be on your healthcare radar.
The Harvard School of Public Health has compiled the following tips on how to use fats to your advantage;
- Avoid packaged food that is labeled "0g of Trans Fat."
- At least one meal a day should be packed with Omega-3, which can be found in salmon, walnuts and tuna.
- Lower your intake of saturated fat by eating chicken and fish instead of red meat and cheese.
- Read labels. Even if a food claims to be low fat, it may still include bad fats such as saturated and trans fats.

The bad news: the current Kerberos implementation is in a bad shape. The good news: Christine fixed some unit tests in the current trunk. So I would suggest to checkout the trunk from [1].

Life Principles in 5 Simple Chinese Letters
I learned from my Moslem friends that Prophet Mohammad ever said: (in Indonesian) "Belajarlah Sampai Ke Negeri Cina", which English translation roughly means: "Learn, if necessary as far as China."; I found that indeed a lot to learn from Chinese language itself. Recently, I learned the LIFE PRINCIPLES from the following five Chinese letters: "卡, 尖,斌,笑,容"
The first letter: 卡 (Ka, means: card). Everyone in this modern world, cannot live without cards, which Chinese letter is 卡. Almost all of us have cards in our pocket, from a bus card, ATM to credit card. There is a hidden meaning in the Chinese letter. 卡 (Kha) consists of two letters; the upper part, 上 (Shang), means top or up; the lower part, 下 (Xia), means bottom or down. Realizing it or not, every one of us knows that in life sometime we are at the top, and some other time we are at the bottom. Many of us become arrogant when we are at the top, we forget the law of nature which said what is up must and will (some day) go down. So, the letter quietly said, when we are at the top, don't be arrogant, when we are at the bottom don't be stressed and despair!! Living in the society, we must be able to mingle, not only with the upper level, but also with the lower level. We must always remember this, when we hold a card in our hand.
Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins
- Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion . When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
- Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person 's lifetime.
